To determine the name of the preference ballot associated with the given preference table, we need to analyze how the votes are cast according to the rankings of the candidates.
Here’s the provided preference table summarized:
- **1st Choice Votes**:
- 37 votes for Adams
- 22 votes for Brown
- 12 votes for Carter
- **2nd Choice Votes**:
- 29 votes for Adams
- 22 votes for Carter
- 12 votes for Brown
- **3rd Choice Votes**:
- 12 votes for Carter
- 37 votes for Adams
- 22 votes for Brown
Now, we need to summarize the overall preference based on the votes received in each position (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
1. **Adams** receives the highest number of first-choice votes (37).
2. **Brown** comes in next with 22 first-choice votes; however, it appears that many of Brown's supporters rank Adams as their second choice.
3. **Carter** receives the least number of first-choice votes (12).
In terms of preferences, the leading candidate appears to be Adams, deemed the most favorable overall from the distribution of votes, followed by Brown, then Carter.
From the options available, the correct answer describing the overall preference ballot, based on the analysis of the most favored rankings, would be:
**Adams, Brown, Carter**
However, this exact option doesn't seem to be one of the choices provided.
If we look at the options you provided and analyze based on the general preference:
- **Carter, Brown, Adams**
- **Carter, Brown, Adams**
- **Brown, Adams, Carter**
- **Brown, Adams, Carter**
- **Brown, Brown, Carter**
- **Brown, Brown, Carter**
- **Adams, Carter, Brown**
Given the highest support based on first-choice votes comes from Adams, I suspect there is an inflection point. To arrive at a conclusion based on general preference the most accurate representation based on majority's preference observation appears to be:
**Adams, Brown, Carter.**
Please verify the options in case of discrepancies or errors in the preferred list and rankings!
